Мушмара
Amanita muscaria is visually iconic with its red cap and white spots. Its main active compounds are ibotenic acid (a neurotoxin) and muscimol (the primary psychoactive agent). Effects are highly variable and can include delirium, confusion, euphoria, ataxia, and visual distortions. Potency varies greatly between specimens depending on season, region, and preparation method. Traditional preparation methods (drying, heating/baking at 175°F+) decarboxylate ibotenic acid into the less toxic muscimol.
